With a shot to the head, the woman died on the spot. In just one second, the woman was freed.
Jiang Ze put away his pistol and said to a soldier next to him: "Take pictures of all the tragic scenes here. After taking pictures, collect all the bodies and return them to the Chu people in the afternoon."
"yes."
While the soldiers were busy, Jiang Ze came to the top of a ruined building alone, looked up to the sky and sighed.
At this time, Gu Nian jumped over and came to Jiang Ze's side.
Gu Nian took off his helmet and said to Jiang Ze, "What are you doing here?"
"I didn't do anything, just sighed and sighed."
"What? Are you feeling uncomfortable again?"
"No, it's okay. Anyway, I'm used to this kind of thing. What's the matter with you?" Jiang Ze asked.
"I don't have anything to do, I just happened to pass by."
"oh."
Jiang Ze smiled and said, Gu Nian also smiled a little. Suddenly, the two fell into silence.
Because usually if the two of them chat together, they must have something to say. They met by chance, and they didn't know what to say.
After being embarrassed for a minute or two, Gu Nian smiled again: "Then...then I'm leaving."
"Oh... um..." Jiang Ze nodded slightly and spoke slowly.
"Yeah." Gu Nian nodded, then turned around and walked away.
After walking for more than ten steps, Jiang Ze suddenly said: "Well... there is something..."
Before Jiang Ze could finish speaking, Gu Nian immediately turned around with an expectant look on his face.
"What?" Gu Nian asked.
"There's something."
"talk."
"Look at this." Jiang Ze walked towards Gu Nian and took out a small gem.
"This is a seven-color diamond. Where did you get it?" Gu Nian asked in surprise.
"I don't know which soldier collected it from where. In order to please his superior, this soldier gave it to your superior."
"So that superior gave it to you in order to please you?"
"Well, I have no use for it. I'll give it to you. This is very valuable."
"Why do you give me such a valuable thing?"
"Do you like it? I'll give it to you if you like it."
"I quite like it, but..."
"Between us, there is no need to be embarrassed. Just take it." Jiang Ze took Gu Nian's hand and placed the gem in her palm.
After placing the gem, Jiang Ze's hand did not let go of Gu Nian immediately.
Gu Nian wanted to stop, but found that Jiang Ze was too strong and couldn't take it back.
"Jiang Ze, what's wrong with you?"
"I... nothing... nothing." Jiang Ze reacted and slowly let go of his hand.
At that moment, Gu Nian didn't know what happened, and was frozen in place. Their eyes met, and their heartbeats gradually accelerated.
"Jiang Ze, I want to ask a question."
"What?"
"We have known each other for more than a year. How many people have you liked?"
"Why ask this question?"
"I just want to know."
"If I answer you, you must also answer my question honestly, okay?"
"Okay... okay." Gu Nian hesitated for a few seconds and finally agreed.
"The person I have always liked is you." Jiang Ze said seriously.
"It's been so long and you still haven't changed."
"I do not know why either."
"What about Gu Xiaoxia?"
"Didn't I tell you? Gu Xiaoxia is a spy for the Zerg, and she and I were just playing along."
"No, you gave me the feeling at the time that you were serious."
"I don't even know if I'm serious, can you tell?" Jiang Ze smiled.
"I can feel it."
"But no matter what, it was just a flash in the pan, just like a dream. After it has passed, just forget it."
"Really?"
"Well, then it's time for you to answer my question."
"Okay, just ask."
"Have you ever had feelings for me?"
"This..." Gu Nian's expression suddenly became very uncomfortable.
"You said you would answer me a question."
"I……"
"Say it, I'm listening."
"I can't answer you."
"How could you break your promise?" Jiang Ze deliberately said in a reproachful tone.
"I have kept my promise. I will answer you, but not now. Just let me think about it and I will tell you the answer within three days."
"Okay, three days is all."
"Then...should I leave first?"
"Well, go ahead and get busy." Jiang Ze smiled.
At this moment, a deputy captain flew from the sky. He landed next to Jiang Ze and said excitedly: "It's not good, captain."
"What's up?"
"That...that Luo Erhu...he obstructed the execution and took Wei Sheng away."
"Are you kidding? What are you deputy captains doing for food? Are you just watching?" Jiang Ze said excitedly.
"There's no way. Everyone knows that Luo Erhu is your brother, and Luo Erhu's tone is very loud. He said that I must take him away. Brother, I will tell him personally."
"What are these two tigers doing?" For the first time, Jiang Ze felt angry at the two tigers' behavior.
"What should the leader do now?"
"Where did Erhu go?"
"I sent people to follow them all the way, and they stopped in the woods three kilometers outside the city. It's not very far."
"Go right away."
Just like that, Jiang Ze immediately summoned a group of cavalry and rushed over quickly.
After arriving in the woods, Luo Erhu was standing on a stone bridge, seemingly waiting for Jiang Ze.
Jiang Ze immediately came to Luo Erhu and shouted loudly: "Where is the person? That Wei Sheng person?"
"I've let him go."
"What do you mean? What do you mean?" Jiang Ze yelled at Luo Erhu.
"Brother, Xiaosheng didn't make any mistakes, why did you want to kill him?"
"He said it himself yesterday, he won't mess around today, and if he does, he will make other people's heads fall to the ground."
"Brother, how could you be so unreasonable? How can such words be taken seriously?"
"What's unreasonable? Whatever reason you want, if he can't do it, don't brag about it. Now that you've said it, there's no reason to take it back."
"Brother, Xiao Sheng is really good at him. He has no shortcomings except lust. Moreover, he is the cousin of General Wei Jing. You can kill him as you please. Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"
"Do you think I haven't done any research? What a bullshit cousin. I checked the information before the end of Wei Jing, and there is no cousin Wei Sheng at all. This Wei Sheng is just named Wei, and his hometown is in Weijia Village, so he can only He is said to be slightly related to Wei Jing, but he is not a cousin at all. This Wei Sheng relies on this little relationship to become arrogant and domineering."
"Okay, okay, I won't argue with you about this. I admit that Xiao Sheng is indeed a bit flamboyant sometimes, but he is still a very loyal person. Even if you want to teach him a lesson, there is no need to actually kill him, right?"
"Luo Erhu, I'm warning you. I don't care what relationship Wei Sheng had with you before, but in front of me, once you say something, you must keep it true. If I don't kill him, wouldn't everyone else do? Are you lying?" Jiang Ze said excitedly again.
"So... you just want to kill people to establish your authority?" Luo Erhu's expression also became very ugly. This was the first time, the first time that he felt that his elder brother was so cruel.
"This is not something you have to consider. You should consider it and use your brain when doing things. I just gave the order in front, and you stopped me from behind. In front of so many soldiers, you stopped my order. , how do you want me to convince the public in the future?"
"So? I've stopped him, so what?" Luo Erhu was also overwhelmed by anger, and his words began to become full of gunpowder.
"Luo Erhu, listen, an army has only one head, and only one person has the final say. From now on, please give me some brains to do things."
"is it so serious?"
"It's more serious than you think."
"Okay, you are such a big official. I, Luo Erhu, am responsible for everyone's work. I disobeyed your order. What crime should I be punished for? Do you want to behead me?"
"What the hell do you mean?"
"I don't mean anything. I just plead guilty. I disobeyed the commander's order. What crime should I be punished for?"
"You...you...you...you have given me enough. This matter has passed, forget it. I just warned you to be careful in the future." Jiang Ze found that Luo Erhu was a little out of control, so he started He suppressed his anger, hoping to make this matter a minor issue.
"This is your best chance to establish your authority. If you punish me, everyone will know how strict your military orders are."
"Okay, don't let it go on forever."
"I'm serious. No matter what the crime is, I will admit it."
"That's enough, Erhu, don't challenge my bottom line."
"I really, really mean it."
"We'll talk about it when we get back, we'll talk about it when we get back, you go back to Xiao'er City first. Someone, give Erhu a horse and take him back to Xiao'er City."
In this way, Luo Erhu was sent back to Xiao'er City, while Jiang Ze returned to the small town just now and organized his troops to move to the next small town. Luo Erhu, who returned to Xiao'er City, took off his armor and military uniform, had someone tie him up with a rope, and stayed in his residence without going out.
Although Jiang Ze was very unhappy, he could only forget it as much as possible, because the military plan could not be changed, and Luo Erhu or not, it must be implemented as planned.
It took about half a day, Jiang Ze led 3,000 siege troops and 3,000 marines to the third small town.
The time Jiang Ze set for the third small town is still zero o'clock. If the town does not surrender at zero o'clock, Jiang Ze will attack again and massacre the city.
After passing the previous two small towns, Jiang Ze felt even more indifferent now. After all, he had already slaughtered two of them, so he didn't care how many more there were.
Soon, midnight arrived.
Jiang Ze took a deep breath and shook his head as he took it, thinking to himself: If you really have the guts, okay, then let’s continue killing. I don’t believe it. Aren’t all Chu people afraid of death?
Just when Jiang Ze was about to shout to attack the city, the gate of the small town suddenly opened slowly...
At this moment, Jiang Ze finally smiled.
As the city gate slowly opened, the Chu State flag was lowered on the city wall and a white flag was raised.
Finally, the third small town did not turn into hell.
With the third small town setting a precedent, things will become much easier to handle later on.
In the next few days, the fourth, fifth, sixth, seventh, eighth and other small towns surrendered one after another.
In this way, Jiang Ze took only five days in total to occupy nine small cities.
The fall of nine small cities so quickly finally attracted the attention of Nuer City.
